A dark secret with the town’s fate hanging in the balance.A BEAUTY AND THE BEAST retelling full of autumn feels, with an AUSTRIAN twist and a new breed of curse!When Rosen moves to Freudendorf—a secluded town in the Alps—with her dad, he vanishes on her and the debt collectors come to call: taking her into forced labor. As if that weren’t bad enough, just when all her hopes and dreams for a normal life are dashed, a frail zombie-like butler purchases her, taking her to serve Lord Varick, who currently resides in the forbidden castle near the salt mines, where the Beast of the Night is said to roam…Varick is handsome, with an attitude that’s the exact opposite. The servants aren’t human, and the castle itself is an ugly wreck. But if Rosen cannot solve the dark secret spreading beneath Freudendorf, and the curse holding Varick’s cold heart, then both they and the town will fall prey to a waiting evil—and worse, even lose their memory of it.A quick read perfect for readers who love sensible heroines, enemies-to-lovers, and no-spice romance, as well as a fresh take on vampire mythology that is clean!~”A delightful and heartwarming Beauty and the Beast retelling set against a rich autumnal backdrop, perfect for reading by the light of a jack-o’-lantern or a crackling hearth.” – Gillian Bronte Adams, author of The Songkeeper Chronicles
